Be a Children's
Champion

Head Start helps economically disadvantaged children from 3 to 5 years old develop their educational and social skills.  Teachers involve family members in the instruction and other center-based activities to help foster a lifetime of commitment to quality education.  Through this early socialization and educational experience, children who attend Head Start are more likely to overcome learning disabilities often exacerbated by the effects of hunger, poverty, or environment.

The program provides nutrition experiences and coordinates health and disability services with the local schools and develops partnerships with local agencies to meet each child's individual needs.  Through Head Start's comprehensive parent involvement program, parents participate in the decision-making, volunteer in the classroom and develop parent-sponsored activities and training.
